Super Smash Bros. for WiiU Tournament, June 30th

Friday Night Fisticuffs is our monthly tournament we hold every Friday mid-way through the month, where we have a competition, games set up to play, and most importantly CASH PRIZES!

At our last tournament…

- We held a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tournament on the new Nintendo Switch.-Our top 3 players were Smash Bry in third, Shy in second & Sir Alex once again was our champion for the night!-The top 3 players won themselves some cash prizes!

At this month’s tournament: Two years ago we held our first Super Smash Bros. for WiiU tournament & we have learned a lot since then. This month will once again be Super Smash Bros for WiiU, the tournament will be held a little later in the month than usual due to scheduling conflicts, it will be June 30th. This Smash tournament will also have a Free-To-Enter Amiibo tournament as well! Details and rules on both tournaments will be detailed in the event’s Facebook page comments.

At previous Super Smash Bros. for WiiU tournaments we had many people lend their WiiU consoles to the store for the tournament, which allowed us to run multiple stations and sped up the tournament. We would like to ask again if some contestants would like to lend their WiiU consoles to the store for this tournament, which will be returned after the tournament has finished. All we would need is a WiiU console (that has been updated, with all the Smash characters unlocked and all the DLC characters downloaded), the AC adapter for the WiiU console, a copy of Super Smash Bros. for WiiU (either downloaded to the system or as a physical disc), a GameCube adapter, and a WiiU GamePad with its charger. If you don’t have everything we just mentioned or even if you have just one of the items & wish to lend it to the store for the tournament contact us anyway, we might need it. If you let us know your bringing a WiiU system to the tournament ahead of time it will guarantee you a spot in the tournament! So even if you show up at 6PM and the bracket is full, fear not selfless do-gooder your act of kindness has guaranteed you a spot on the list of contestants! Please comment here on this Facebook page if you would like to inquire about how to go about bringing a WiiU system to our tournament & our chief master of events Leonard Agrusti will contact you with how to go about it, or E-mail him directly at dpvideogames@gmail.com
